Can someone explain in a bit of detail what happens at login for key and pa= ssword authentication? =A0It seems we need to get the same environment load= ed for password authentication to load for key authentication so we are try= ing to figure out how to make this happen by understanding what is actually= happening. =A0 Turning on debug for our ssh server did not yield any useful information. = =A0And sorry but right now I don't have access to the server so I'm hoping = that someone can give insight into how the different authentication load th= eir respective environments without needing more detail. =A0I can say that = the privilege separation is turned on. Thanks,Jaynna Sims=20=09=09=20=09=20=20=20=09=09=20=20 _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
